Artspace - Architecture and Landscape Digital Design competition

[amor de cosmos]

Some people have too much time on their hands, but some of these actually look pretty cool

The CGSociety and NVIDIA are very proud to present the winners of our newest competition, NVArt: Art Space. In this ground-breaking competition, artists were invited to gaze into the far reaches of imagination and to bring together their vision of grandeur. They were challenged to create the most awe inspiring architecture and landscape, which they did in awesome measure.

The results are both gorgeous and immensely impressive. A sweep through the gallery of entries is a voyage of discovery on a scale beyond the ordinary. A vibrant fusion of light, color and texture. A triumphant folly of architecture and landscape that unfolds in subtly different ways. The entries are a fantastic collection of imaginative explorations. There is a strong contingent from the far reaches of Russia and Eastern Europe, most with years of architectural training behind them.

NVArt continues to inspire great work from artists from all over the world. In the first competition the theme was
Amazing Creations. This time it the challenge was Art
Space and the artists have truly created some amazing
spaces that inspire the imagination. As with the first competition the global spread of entrants was ground-breaking, with strong representation from eastern Europe.

I see Final Fantasy has a wind reaching influence lol

Oh and I like how the European entries have a sense of whimsy and wonder...and the Canadian entry is dystopic and freakish. I won't get into politics...

^They look like ice-rock formations. I can't even see windows. My eye is drawn more to the swarm of Mega-Sperm.

Yes it's all futuristic but it really is incredible. I can't believe how impressive that is.
